Gary, there's a CP/M collector's community over at vcfed.org.  You might
want to try posting on the forum over there.

As someone that has three of them with hard disk its nearly the last 
word on
Z80 CP/M systems with the 6502 doing terminal and graphics.  Worth 
collecting.

I have an Visual 1050 computer (CPM based) with screen and keyboard.
Probably works but I have not tried it yet.  Will likely uncover boot disks,
and other software.

Anyone interested to pay shipping from Bellingham, WA?
